Pavise (Japanese:大盾Great Shield), previously known asGreat Shield andCancel, is a combatskill debuting inFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. In most appearances, when activated, it protects the user from a single attack by reducing or—prior toAwakening—completely nullifying the damage that would have been inflicted on them by that attack. The skill's activation rate has widely varied from game to game, as has its availability, but it is most commonly available toGenerals and members of other advanced armored classes.Awakening split its functionality in two and restrict Pavise to working only against physical attacks, while a new skill,Aegis, offers the same protection against magical and bow attacks;Echoes: Shadows of Valentia also splits its functionality with another skill,Earth's Kiss in this case, with Pavise reducing physical damage and Earth's Kiss applying to magical damage. Additionally, only inAwakening and exclusive to enemies inLunatic+ difficulty, an enhanced variation of this skill exists, known asPavise+, which will always activate.
InGenealogy of the Holy War,Thracia 776,The Sacred Stones,Awakening, andFates, Pavise is a class skill belonging toGenerals and similar classes, and inPath of Radiance, Cancel is themastery skill of theHawklaguz. InRadiant Dawn, Pavise is a personal skill which can be equipped to any unit, while inShadows of Valentia, it is an item skill associated with theDuma's Shield andSage's Shield. InThree Houses, it is a class skill for theFortress Knight. Additionally, it and Aegis are item skills of all non-weaponHeroes' Relics when equipped by a unit with the compatible crest; paralleling the durability costs of the signaturecombat arts of the other Heroes' Relics, this form of Pavise is more likely to trigger depending on the potency of the user's crest.

Trivia
- InThe Sacred Stones, Great Shield will never activate if the enemy is attacking with a poison weapon (Toxin Lance,Poison Sword). This was implemented to prevent special effects conflicts with the purple glow used by poisoned units and the yellow glow produced by Great Shield.
- Radiant Dawn's North American help description erroneously states that Pavise nullifies the effects of an enemy attack, which is untrue as Pavise does not prevent poisoned weapons from poisoning the target. This was corrected in the PAL release.
